The works presented in the exhibition all come from the same historical period, from the 1950s to the present. Among the works from the museum’s own collection, visitors will also find significant works from the collections of other institutions and private collections.
The MSN Warsaw collection is made up of artworks and documents testifying to the changes occurring in the visual arts over the last seven decades in Poland and around the world.
The MSN Warsaw collection also includes artists’ archives and the museum’s Filmoteka, a collection of hundreds of films. The collected works reflect a great diversity of media and artistic approaches, and convey the dynamism of artists’ engagement in the life of the society, the flow of information, and the development of new technologies.
This exhibition is “impermanent” not only because it runs only until the autumn of 2025, but first and foremost because the canon of contemporary artworks is not fixed, but remains in constant motion.

Warsaw Old Town

Prince of Pusan

Warsaw&rsquo;s Old Town is a stunning testament to the resilience and rich history of the Polish people. Originally established in the 13th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was almost entirely destroyed during World War II but has been meticulously reconstructed. Walking through the cobbled streets, visitors can feel the blend of medieval charm and historical significance in every corner, from the colorful facades of historic tenement houses to the grandeur of the Royal Castle, which offers a fascinating glimpse into Polish royalty and national history.Market Square is the heart of Old Town, where vibrant cafes, restaurants, and shops offer everything from traditional Polish cuisine to charming souvenirs. Statues and monuments, such as the iconic Mermaid of Warsaw, add to the area&rsquo;s character and reflect the deep cultural symbolism of the city. Nearby, St. John&rsquo;s Archcathedral and other churches showcase exquisite architecture and house important religious relics.Whether you&#39;re a history enthusiast, a culture seeker, or simply looking for a beautiful place to explore, Warsaw&rsquo;s Old Town offers an unforgettable experience that celebrates Poland&#39;s endurance, beauty, and cultural heritage. It&#39;s a place where past and present beautifully coexist, making it a must-visit for anyone coming to Warsaw.

Museum of Fryderyk Chopin in Warsaw

Museums

Kim~ Keep on EXPloring

Born on March 1st, 1818 in Żelazowa Wola, Fryderyk Chopin is Poland&lsquo;s greatest composer and Warsaw&lsquo;s favourite son. He has lent his name to everything from vodka to airports. An early age musical prodigy, his life as a musician was full of success. As that of many other artists, however, it was marked by unrequited love, exile, illness, bankruptcy and solitude. He died at age 39 in Paris. His compositions live on and have become a source of Polish national pride.

Taking up four floors the museum features an interactive style and shares the life of Chopin from start to finish leaving absolutely no detail out. Among the 5,000 exhibits are a lock of hair, his school exercise books, a sweet box, a gold watch presented to the ten year old Frederic by an admiring Italian singer and the passport he used to enter England. So comprehensive is the collection it even features the last letter he wrote to his family and dried flowers from his deathbed. Also, of course, are several paintings and sculptures (including his death mask), a recreation of his Paris drawing room, and even an intriguing section on the women who made the man.

One area that is particularly popular is the Composer&#39;s Hall, an area where you can listen to all of Chopin&#39;s music. Mr Chopin, welcome to the 21st century.

This is the best safe haven in the bustling city. The most important thing is that there are white peacocks walking here and mandarin ducks in pairs...a wonderful harmony between the city and nature.

Warsaw Uprising Museum

je ne sais quoi

If you are in Warsaw, one thing you will realise very quickly - not just in the history but in the very psyche of the city - is that almost all of Warsaw (84%) was destroyed during the Second World War, and any classical-looking buildings you see especially in the Old Town are replicas of the originals built after the war. Along with Dresden and Manila, Warsaw was among the worst destroyed in the war, and the reason is because the Germans razed the city to the ground as a &ldquo;punishment&rdquo; for the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.To find out more about the uprising, there is no better place to learn about it than the Warsaw Uprising Museum (Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego), which I visited in May. It is a large museum with many exhibits across several floors, bringing you through interactive displays, artifacts, written accounts, and other testimonies of how life was during the German occupation of Warsaw, the uprising, and its aftermath. There are displays dedicated to each district of Warsaw. There are many free informative leaflets and flyers (in Polish and English), including 63 calendar pages covering the dates from 1 August 1944 to 2 October 1944 &ndash; each containing a summary of the most important events that took place on that particular day of the uprising.Definitely should go here to understand not just the particular 1944 uprising but also the Second World War as a whole as many exhibits link this to the broader European war. A history buff like me would definitely love exploring yet be moved by the more personal and emotional artifacts.#poland #warsaw #history
